f0d's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["Turd of the Week"]

lmao

A. this flash isn't going to change shit. the people who try to get TOTW on purpose will be encouraged by the fact that they are actually angering people like you, since that is their goal in the first place. thats probably the key point you missed in your flash: that those who attempt to get TOTW on purpose are only trying to make you angry and get attention. the funniest part is YOU GIVE THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT, EVERY TIME.
B. this has been done before. search "TOTW" in the search box and you'll see that the first result is not only better executed then this flash and has a clearer message, but was also released months ago.
C. whats up with the score? i cant figure out why this thing is so inflated, you didnt do anything special with it. its certainly not an original concept, and it has terrible graphics and music. this flash isnt even better then the turds you're attacking. basically, all you did was state the obvious. i guess the score is so high because with the low level of intelligence around here, when people hear the obvious being stated, it resonates to them as "truth" and apparently makes them want to vote 5. that has to be it.
D. i can see you're getting a full head of steam from the minor success of this flash. the simple truth is this flash isnt very good, despite what these idiots are telling you. i would say definitely go back to animutations.

Dumbest. Review. Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, you are affiliated with the Star Syndicate too!!!!!!!! EVEN WORSE!!

[Dailytoon #201]

rrrrr

This was great, a wonderful remake of dailytoon 200 that was much funnier then the original IMO, even if it wasn't as good graphically. Classic starberry touch, the usual peppering of funny SS in-jokes, made this a fitting first toon of the REAL third season.

Expect a lot of toons from me this season zero, I really need to get back into flash-making form and I think dailytoons are the perfect way to do it. I know we have won a lot of the NG audience over simply through our absense, but I want us to prove em right this season. I'll do everything I can to make some great quality shit and hopefully we can rival some of the great quality movies we made last season.

I would also love to be a third season organizer, as I've already mentioned. Ya know, so you can spend more time with Natale hehehe.

THIRD SEASON COMIN ATCHA

TheStarSyndicate responds:

ya make the greatest quality shit ever. Your shit will be the best shit you've ever made.

[Flash Comedy Extravaganza]

Now what?

Where do we go from here? I mean, you've accomplished a lot with this flash. You presented a compelling anti-overrated pro-originality argument with plenty to support it, then you threw in some funny parody to keep people interested. And apparently, people get it. This flash is already very succesful, the most succesful "hate" flash on Newgrounds (I love how these kinds of movies have been labelled "hateful" when in fact the people making them were probably giggling the whole way).

In the end, I think this may be the most perfect parody movie I've seen on this site. It encompasses the spirit of the crews that we're both members of (SS, UCFD, etc.) while pleasing everyone else at the same time. That's the beauty of it: even people who disagree with the message won't care because the flash is still funny. Hell, the message might even end up getting through to them! The last person I would expect a good review from is KupaMan.

You're like da messiah rtil :')

rtil responds:

i know i was surprised by kupaman's review as well. i was hoping to design it like that - that even if people didn't get it OR disagreed partly or entirely, they'd still derive some sort of enjoyement from it. well thanks for the review f00d :)

[26 ways to die collab]

8 months???

8 months.. good god. I could sort of understand 8 months for the Anime Collab but not something like this.

Graphics - 90% of them were bad quality. The vast majority of the people who made parts for this need some serious practice in flash. The walk animations were painfully awful and the character design was sickening. The only truly good quality parts I saw were the one with the plane crash, the one with the teacher, and the one with the video game. And even those could use a little brushing up. Overall, the graphics were very disappointing and in some cases unbearable. I can see potential in a lot of the artists but they need a TON of practice.
Style - I don't know if it ever occured to you in the 8 months it took you to make this that "people getting killed in random ways" isn't exactly the most original concept for a collab. I can recall countless flashes that consist of a metal soundtrack and poorly animated stick figures dying in bloody ways. Come to think of it, the best comparison of this flash is to "All NG Fads Die," but without targets for the violence. Plus, there's less talent and even more mindlessness, which were already down points for the AFD flashes.
Sound - The song tries to hard to be hardcore. It's just annoying.
Violence - clearly the highlight of the flash, but the violence was only truly creative in the teacher and videogame parts.
Interactivity - you had a misleading preloader thats actually very good quality but doesn't match the quality of the rest of the collab. The menu sucked ass. Where's the scene selection and author bios? Anyways, the secret was alright.
Humor - I don't think I even cracked a smile, but I can see a few attempts at humor here and there.
Overall - To the collab leader: the name of the game here is quality control. If someone sends you a part that is extremely shitty, tell them to improve it. Don't except low quality stuff when you're already getting quality work from artists like Zielak and whoever else made the good parts. However, if this took you 8 months, maybe it would be easier and quicker to simply find someone new when you get a crappy part. Also, search for a more compelling subject for a collab. Try to be more innovative. To the collbers: you need some serious practice. I guess collabs are a good way to hone your flash skills, but you're not going to improve much if you join a collab that takes 8 months to finish. Most of you probably made your parts early on and had to wait out these agonizing months, and thats not gonna make you any better at flash. I think part of it is the ngcollabs website. Everything I've seen from you guys suggests that all you do there is come up with ideas that go nowhere or come up with ideas that drag out over long stretches of time and become overhyped, like this one. So if you really want to improve, I would suggest joining a flash crew of some sort. You will be much more compelled to make flashes for people who are actually productive. If you don't like any of the crews or don't want to have to become a clock or lock, go solo. Anything is better then 8 friggin months of WAITING

QcStorm responds:

holy crap, big review, you know what you want dont you?

I understand you saying some parts sucked, but dont tell me what to do. there was more than 50 animations for this collab. 30 were too sucky long, or made by bigexplosion ( lol, he made like 5, so i had to restrain )

And, just to make you happy, ill make a sequel :P

Expect 26 ways to die : Reloaded to be started this summer. now bye bye everyone

[The VRROOMMM Collab 2]

Magnificent

what a stunning masterpiece :')

Menu - brilliant work three. i love that song ahahah. the cars were all done very creatively, i especially got a laugh out of reverent's car. who is that asian chick in the back seat of my car?!? WHOA. help button doesnt work btw ;]
Rev - man i love yours. fantastic graphicsss I love everything ya make, rev. poor sevenstar jr. died :'(
Roymasta - a touching tribute to grape. banana still hasn't recovered, i see :(
Roymasta 2 - WOW this was amazing! trippy graphics, interesting concept. its as if banana has entered a paralell universe or maybe he's entering his OWN MIND and he's trying to come to terms with the tragic death of grape! i was disappointed when it stopped though, i NEED CLOSURE!!! I CANT LIVE WITH MYSELF KNOWING GRAPE DIED SUCH A MEANINGLESS DEATH :'(
jet - trademark jet style. the ending made me crack up. absolutely brilliant stuffff
BFC - wow you're an amazing artist BFC. the ending was a bit predictable but still, your work is phenomenal.
me - well the menu button looks rather ugly when its partially up in the corner. its that dumb AS camera is tweening around :(

ThreeStar responds:

ok the help button works!! just not more than once!!

I just googled the person in your backseat, ahaha, I didn't know who to put. I was originally gonna put a bunch of prom-ready girls in the back but I came across that girl and couldn't resist her. :0

And ahaha I didn't know how to NOT make the menu button tween with the rest of the stuff lol

I think overall this one was less buggy than the last one, but it's not without its defects...

BTW, F00D, your piece, I thought, was the funniest of all of them. :3

TO SUCCESS!
<3,
Three

[IDY in Baywatch]

Detestable

I found this flash devoid of humor, an eyesore, and reeking of laziness. I cannot imagine why it has the score it has. Actually, I can. Newgrounds is teeming with people who enjoy this trash. Anyways, I'll try to be constructive here. On to the review:

Graphics: I can see you have some artistic talent. Your drawings here, however unoriginal they are, display some skill. The main problem with the graphics was the laziness. It is painfully apparent that you took shortcuts in every way possible with this flash. First thing I notice is the traced-bitmap backgrounds. Using traced bitmaps sends tells me you were way too lazy to actually draw anything in the backgrounds, so you just searched for a picture on Google then used this nifty little tool in flash to make it look like you actually did some work. Essentially, you cheated. You may trick Newgrounds viewers with that but you lose immense amounts of respect from your fellow artists. Then there's the animation. Its immediately apparent how little work you want to do when I see a circle tweening across the screen that is supposed to represent a character. You only actually animated about 5 frames in here, then looped each one to make it look adequate. The rest was just tweens and traced bitmaps galore. The only work you did was the run animation, from the front and the side, and that looked painfully awkward.
Style: I seriously can't think of a style I despise more than furry art. Allow me to explain. Of course, furry art is done in anime style. Wow, never seen that one before! Before you draw anime, consider just how often the same tiresome style has been used. Don't you think it would be refreshing to try a new style? Wouldn't it enrich your works to bring some semblance of originality or creativity to them, instead of just going along with what everyone else is doing? Besides the anime, you've also drawn anthropomorphic characters here, customary in most "furry" cartoons. I feel this reflects a strange sexual fetish in your works and it certainly turns me off, even if it turns you and your friends on. If you want to be taken seriously as an artist, furry cartoons are definitely not the way to go, even if they aren't intended to be sexual.
Sound: Boring music, but it was the highlight of the flash. Why exactly did you use that song by The Who? It was completely and utterly pointless. The voice acting was just atrocious.
Violence: Dead lizard girl.
Interactivity: Your ugly preloader highlights the groin of your main character far too much for me not to question your sexuality.
Humor: It couldn't be further from funny. It might have been, had the delivery been better. But I think I got pretty thrown off on the storyline as soon as I saw circles tweening around the screen. Anyways, I have seen countless parodies of Baywatch. What makes yours any better? Is it the fact that a freakish anime hybrid of a man, a cat, and a blueberry is acting out the parody? Sorry, that doesn't do it for me. The gag at the end was stupid as well, mostly because of the utterly inappropriate music. The only reason I gave you a one in the humor is because you didn't include a busty anime kitty cat girl to pose as Pam Anderson. I most likely would have vomited if you had. Oh, and for the record, the mere appearance of David Hasselhoff in your flash is not humorous in any way, except to morons who giggle at any pop culture reference.

Overall: The kind of flash I hate. I'd like to see less of this, even though I know there is a fanbase for it. It perplexes me to no end how stuff like this becomes popular.

i spent way too fucking long on this review 54yuj45bbnfgnnjsdj

Fonzu responds:

Yeah, as stated in my Sheezyart's description, I did take the "lazy" shortcut, because college work and deadlines were piling up onto me. And I can't do backgrounds pretty well, so my only option was to use a couple of photos I own. I don't really see what's bad about that though. Even when you've got a professional animation team, the background artists and the animator himself are mostly not always the same. Some lack talent here, and some lack talent there.
I used the song by the Who, because its pretty obvious. Its the theme tune to the CSI series. IDY first went dramatic on Baywatch, and since he failed, he didn't give up and switched to the CSI drama. I even put CSI on his swim suit just for people who are a bit slow to realise, but I guess it didn't work for you either.

[Experiment_11]

Brilliant artwork

I smell a Portal King of April...

As I told you, I love the artwork in this, especially the brilliant backgrounds. All of the "Experiment" films have this same trippy quality, excellent visuals with a great abstract feel to them, and a nice soundtrack to accompany the animation, but I think this one was the best out of all of them so far. Plus, you had to have been animating this for only a few days after you finished your marvelous Star Day film (congrats on front page), making it all the more impressive.

Yadayadayada I know I've told you all this homosexual shit before but thank you so much for everything you've done zeka!! :wub: oops that wont work here...

oh and enjoy your modship!! only ban gay people!

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Nah, I worked on this before I started my StarDay toon, F00d.

And as for my modship, I am waiting for Ape Linkin to join again.

[SD: The Professor EP 1-4]

gaahahahaha

"Menstruation is a big problem"

"Gangrene AAAAGAAGAAAA"

ahaha that was amazing.

So much greatness in one flash. This literally made me crack up. Excellent work Denvish :)

DefinitiveStar responds:

Shhhh, no-one knows

"My mother had the GREAT POX, we didn't have a cure for that, so she died"

The recipe for gunpowder is in there somewhere, too =)

[SD 06: Death of P-Bot]

Perfection

Gorgeous flash, right here. I love the epicness of this toon, its a beautiful portrayal of the REAL struggle of the SS. And the stop up in the middle was also very funny. The final battle with the mallet soaring through the air brought me to tears!! NICE JOB SPACEY LIZZARD!!! AAA

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

f00d is healthy for the human body

[StarDay: Aubergine 2]

Aubergine

Always a pleasure, Aubergine. You still have one of the absolute best flash drawing styles I've ever seen. I'm glad you're still around and took the time to make something for Star Day. This was funny, Foamy's face melting gave me a good laugh. Wonderful job!

AubergineLock responds:

Woah, thanks for the compliments. Much <3
